Lea Michele out, Carly Rae Jepsen in!

Carly Rae Jepsen scored arguably the definitive hit of 2012 with 'Call Me Maybe,' but she's been having a tough time driving subsequent singles up the charts -- so maybe what her voice needs is a change of setting, in the form of a duet with rising Danish pop sensations A Friend in London.

Carly Rae Jepsen has a girl next door image -- which may be why the her original followup video to 'Call Me Maybe,' 'Curiosity,' was shelved in favor of the typically cutesy 'This Kiss.' It's a bit sexy for the Justin Bieber BFF's core audience!

Music videos, a cannonball fail, and a drunk guy singing Queen from the back of a squad car are just a few of 2012's Most Viral Videos from mashable.com.  They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, they'll get suck in your head, and they'll live in infamy with the "viral video" status.

Have you caught your breath after Pink's performance of 'Try' yet? No? Good, because the Backstreet Boys are on hand to award the New Artist of the Year statue to Carly Rae Jepsen at the 2012 American Music Awards. And they are looking fiiiine.

Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber took the lead in award wins at the 2012 MTV EMAs held in Frankfurt, Germany -- but since The Biebs was a no show, the spotlight was all on Swift. The 'Red' songstress not only went home with Best Female, Best Live Act and Best Look awards, but also made her debut on the EMA stage as a ringleader with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.'

At the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards tonight (Nov. 11), there were a few fashion faux pas and "What were they thinking?!" offenses committed by pop stars.

Carly Rae Jepsen had the biggest song of the summer of 2012 in America with 'Call Me Maybe,' but clearly, the song's reach extended beyond the U.S., as the Canadian singer picked up the 2012 MTV EMA for 'Best Song.'

Carly Rae Jepsen got the party started at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards, performing the most infectious song of the year, 'Call Me Maybe.'

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an American tradition. And this year, a lot of the acts performing at the festivities are foreigners. Canuck Carly Rae Jepsen, Brits the Wanted and Aussie Cody Simpson will all hitch rides on floats in New York City to celebrate the Mayflower hitting land all those years ago.

It's always a good time? Not when Owl City, Carly Rae Jepsen, and a host of others are on the receiving end of a lawsuit alleging they ripped off 'Good Time' from a 2010 track by an Alabama-based singer-songwriter.

Victoria Justice, Carly Rae Jepsen and Thomas Mann made a stop at the Mall of America on Saturday to promote their new movie 'Fun Size' that opens this weekend.
